Chapter 32: chapter 32

Sandhya had been unconscious for a very long time. She struggled to open her eyes and didn’t understand where she was. She gained consciousness completely and looked at her surroundings. She was in a bed that was giant and locked in a room. She recalled the incident where she had been kidnapped in the rally when someone placed a handkerchief on her mouth. The next thing she remembered was waking up here.She screamed, “Where am I?Why did you kidnap me? Who are you? Leave me alone!” She rose from the bed and realized she was in a house. She gained strength and started walking around. There was bulletproof glass locked around that house and she had no chance to escape. She screamed, and screamed, and screamed, and burst into tears.She was scared and rushed to the terrace. There was a thick forest surrounding the house and her eyes couldn't find a trace of even a single human. She screamed again, “Where am I? Why did you kidnap me? Surya? Where is my Surya?”Her screams disappeared into the sky.It was morning and the Sun rays woke up Surya to reality. He jolted awake and looked at his surroundings and realized he was by the side of a road. He thought for a couple of minutes, inhaled strongly and started his journey from there. Arun was in his lawn, sipping coffee. Prasad was standing beside him.“Sir, it seems that Surya’s wife Sandhya had been missing!” said Prasad.“I feel so sad for him. Poor soul must be worried!” mocked Arun.Prasad looked at the gate and found Surya coming towards him. He seemed like a lost man, with swollen eyes, and messy hair, trying to find a meaning in his life. Prasad felt miserable looking at him.“Sir, it’s Surya!” said Prasad, pointing out to the gate.Arun felt ecstatic and showered an evil smile, “Oh my god! Surya, the Great, the greatest businessman, seems to be lost! Is it because of your missing wife?”Surya's heart was aching and said, “Arun, I accept the defeat. You won the game! Please let her go. I’m here, right in front of you. She is an innocent woman, let her go.”“Surya! You still believe that I’m the kidnapper? By the way, you seem to gather evidence against me. How’s that going? Are you going to produce the evidence in the court?”“Arun, please! Let her go, enough of this. I’ll not submit any kind of evidence.”“Wow, amazing! You seem to love her unconditionally! Why wouldn’t any man love her, huh? Seems reasonable! Just look at her, AHH! Even I feel like wanting her!” mocked Arun.Surya raged out and screamed, “Arun, Mind you words! I will burn you to ashes!”“Look at you! You will kill me, huh? You can’t even touch me now,” said Arun.Surya was vulnerable. Prasad felt bad for him.“Tell me, Surya? Do you want to get back to your Sandhya? She will be in my custody until you agree to whatever I say. She will be taken care of in the best way possible but will you act as I say? I’ll let her go as soon as you fulfill all of my wishes! If you try to act smart, you can’t even identify your wife’s dead body. I warn you!” commanded Arun.Surya was lost in thoughts and said, “Okay, I will do whatever you say. But let me see her once so that I can trust you! I want to make sure she’s safe and I will be signing any document you ask me to!”Arun thought for a while and agreed to it. He took him to a room where a screen was fixed on the wall. Arun turned on the screen and Surya looked at Sandhya who was sitting helplessly in one corner of the room. Surya's heart blew up and he screamed, “Sandhya! Sandhya!”Sandhya jolted into reality and looked at the screen in her room where Surya was visible.She sprinted to the screen and screamed, “Surya!Surya! What is this? Where am I? I’m scared, please save me!”Surya gathered courage and said, “Sandhya, I understand. Please calm down! No one can harm you until I’m alive. You were kidnapped by an inhuman idiot because of me. You will be released as soon as I give them what they need. Please don’t lose hope. I will come for you, please stay strong. I will come for you!”Sandhya burst into tears and nodded her head. They kept staring at each other for a while and the screen went blank in a second. Surya bowed down his head in disappointment and looked at Arun then. Surya signed a couple of documents bought by Arun.
